So as the title say I told my wife I technically saved us $28,400 (AUD) or close to $20k (USD) because I put them back. She has this argument that says I saved nothing. I am not sure she understand, but I know you marvellous members do 🤣 The IWC Pilots Chronograph ($14,100) was pretty nice, I was amazed at how light it felt, and the Cartier De Santos (14,300) was just next level comfortable with the curve to the case. One can only dream.

Back with my Invicta Dive watch today. Late after work taking the picture.

Mission accomplished—I may have succeeded in getting my wife hooked on mechanical watches. While she was trying on pieces, she smiled and asked, “Did you see anything you liked?” Rookie mistake. Five minutes later I was making a completely rational case for why this Italian-made watch belongs in my collection. After all, every collection has gaps… and apparently mine specializes in creating new ones. I’d never heard of this brand before today, but I have to admit it’s a sharp-looking piece. I can already picture it with my Western wardrobe. Tell me I’m not the only one who’s walked into a jewelry store to buy a watch for someone else and somehow left with a new “must-have” on the wishlist.

Those that have watched my travels, and seen what is almost always on the wrist for antavel day, will know even before Wade had a name it was the watch for flights. The GMT function is just perfect for time zone hoping or for just looking good whilst travelling 😜

Monterey Kitty Hawk blue dial watch for today! Had lunch with the wife and started cleaning up my boots. Only thr before pic. @Scott Critchfield here it is!
